Regardless of who wins, the NFC representative in the Super Bowl will have 9 regular season wins. One game above 500.

Why play hard when you've already clinched your division and aren't realistically in the running for a first-round bye?

yep....the cards clinched the division & couldnt get a bye anyway so why kill themselves for nothing.
thats why they should change the seeding rule....qualify the 6 teams as they do now but seed by record....so chargers win the division at 8-8 & still would get a playoff spot....but they should be the 6th seed & play at the 3rd seed....wasnt fair they were home against a 12-4 colts team.
winning your division should clinch u a playoff spot....not necessarily a home game though.
also then teams like the cards might try & win more games even after clinching to improve seeding.

Remember all the problems that the Cardinals had in getting its playoff game vs. Atlanta sold out (needed two extensions)?
Guess what? Once they knew they were going to host, they sold out the NFC championship game in less than 10 minutes! So, no blackout in Arizona for this one...

The Baltimore Colts won Super Bowl V after an 11-2-1 season. The Super Bowl IV winning Steelers team was 10-3-1.
There have also been some losing teams with ties - the Chiefs in I, the Dolphins in VI, the Vikings in XI, and the Broncos in XXII.
